BACKGROUND: On June 19, 2024, Canada designated the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization. Tehran’s reply—declaring the Royal Canadian Navy “terrorist”—wasn’t actually meant to convince anyone. It was meant to sneer, and to give anarchists something to chant at their next rally.

Canada called it “baseless.” In Israel, there’s a phrase for moments like this: "Good morning, Eliyahu!" meaning - It's about time you woke up!"

Israel has spent decades being accused of everything under the sun—fascism, apartheid, ritualistic crimes pulled straight from medieval pamphlets.
